Are blue collar workers the only people who can get shredded naturally?
>>77251133Doesn’t really happen. Maybe if you’re a rebar worker and instead of drugs and alcohol you focus on your diet and stretch a lot. Other than that most blue collar guys battle with overuse injuries, have decent grip strength with a caveat of carpal tunnel syndrome, and semi-decent cardio.>t.

I dont know, do you have eyes? Every tradie is an obese slob with a blown out back or a machinist esque methmaxxed ghoul.
>>77251133What do you mean by naturally.
>>77251336By just living life, not obsessing over diet and exercise and roiding out like a faggot. You do your normal job, eat a normal diet, and you don't end up looking like a fat slob because you're not eating faggot libtard 'foods' made with ultra processed soi which make you gay and look ugly while you drink fagotinizing chemical laden craft beer, and you're actually doing honest real man work so you don't end up a fat piece of shit.
At 1/2/3/4 I'm stronger and bigger than all but the most obese and naturally giant of my coworkers, and I might very well be stronger than them too

>>77251133No, only West African descended people can have muscle and leanness combo without being a gymcel
>>77251339Well, I’m assuming you do all those things. Do you look like the guy in your picture?
>>77251448How can Timmies even compete?
>>77251133that guy is an Austrian bodybuilder who literally only eats chicken and rice and he claims natty
>>77251489The only natty in the thread.
>>77251133That guy you posed is a poser for social media clout, guarantee that isn't his real job. Not dirty or greasy enough. Blue collar worker since the 90s here, plasterer, most blue collar workers are fat fucks. The average lifecycle is to come in as a skinny apprentice and get fatter and fatter over the years as you work your way up, the end stage being obesity. And having your ass crack hanging out all the time is mandatory once you get fat enough.You get some fit bros but they're rare. There's a whole culture around been fat in this kind of work, everyone gets fast food or takeout on lunch break - and they'll even try and poke fun at you if you bring in your own sandwiches or a box of chicken and rice. And everyone goes straight out to bars as soon as they're done with work, and they'll say you have no life if you skip that to go to the gym instead. On average id actually say my friends with office jobs are in better shape
its actually extremely unfair how they don't get shredded naturally. Most of the hardest working fags I know have skinnyfat builds and are borderline diabetic and shit
>>77251548I want cheat codes man, I want to open up human.ini and change some fucking values around. Its fucking bullshit that you have to have a minmaxed lifestyle to not look like shit.
>>77251516The thing is they could get away with all that if they lifted. I don't eat any chicken and rice diet and I'm fit instead of obese because lifting. Also it helps enormously with both injury prevention and work ability.It's actually insane that any blue collar guys don't lift. It's crazy to think about what it's costing society if you think about it.
>>77251574>he thing is they could get away with all that if they liftedThey couldn't though lol. If your diet is garbage and you're drinking constantly it's basically impossible to stay in shape long term even with working out. I did that before, still lifted 4 days a week in the morning and even did some cardio and I still got fat.
>>77251133I was the only guy on my construction crew who wasn't fat as fuck actually. They dummied shit food and way too many beers.
>>77251548because they can't stop stuffing their fat faces with beer and pastries
>>77251133almost all "blue collar" people I met were fat af. Any plumber or electrician I meet is a fat old boomer with 2 kids and an ugly bitch wife on a pension.
>>77251811Based crew. Youre a faggot who didnt want to live a little
>>77251133My best workout was doing lawn work (felled branches)
>>77251133You should step onto a job site sometime. Most are out of shape
>>77251948Wrong
>>77251339That is retarded, also>>77251478>No reply Checks out.
>>77251448>>77251481Shalom.
>>77251967I'm not. They're either fat fucks or scrawny. Then you have maybe one roided out laborer or concrete guy
>>77251979da jooz
>>77251481Civilization?
>>77251992Yes. They are the source of the majority of the world's evil.
>>77251967I can tell you've never done that kind of work. White collar fags always romanticise blue collar work and think it will get you in peak physical condition. All the blue collar bros have to do is take a look around site and all they can see is obese retards
>>77252041It is weird. I rarely meet other trades who want to go into the office unless their body is broken down, but I meet so many unhappy white collar guys who think it'd be sick to learn any trade. Just learn enough to take care of your house and save your body
>>77252046White collar work is more body destroying than most trades IMO. Just sitting down so much and with bad posture typically is terrible for you. Keepign active and moving your body to work is a good thing.Now there are some specific types of jobs that have too much repetitve movements which will fuck up your body I am struggling to even think of which trades these are. Like a drywall guy who is always working up over his head doing ceilings. I can see that fucking up anyones shoulders.
>>77251481I wouldn't worry about it.
>>77252061Blue collar work only destroys your body if you're stupid anyway. Follow manual handling guidelines and don't try and act macho, lifting something that's a 2 or 3 man job by yourself, and you'll be absolutely fine. All the guys I know who have back problems could have avoided it.I think it's largely the same with white collar. Don't hunch over like a goblin at your desk and sit with good posture, get a good chair, and you'll be alright.
>>77252094They wouldnt do blue collar work if they arent stupid
>>77251979>>77252017
>>77251133Most tradies are kinda fat. Still in better shape than people who do nothing but sit all day, but an office worker who watches his diet and works out regularly will quickly get better in shape than the average tradie.
I work concrete, one of the physically more demanding blue collar jobs. 90% of my time isnt moving weight in a way productive to stimulating muscle growth, its moving very awkward ~90-110 lb form panels, muck raking concrete, crawling around on my hands and knees finishing concrete or bent over swinging a hammer. Most of the hard work in a physical labor job is awkward movements with stuff that isn't designed to be picked up by one person. There's a reason so many blue collar guys have repetitive stress injuries and fucked up backs/joints. Are you going to be on better shape than an office warrior that spends 8-10 hours a day sitting? Probably. But most concrete guys are either skinny white meth addicts or overweight Mexicans.
>>77252128Obviously some office worker who’s been going to the gym for ten years is not going to last a week running rigid pipe against an electrician who has been doing it for ten years and hasn’t worked out a day in his life
>>77251133That guy is not narural. These guess do all kinds of drugs, some of them do gear, this is one of them.>>77251339>not obsessing over diet and exerciseBro you think that he is not only natural but NOT obsessed with his diet???? You think that body is bagels and pasta????????
>>77252152>That guy is not naruralHe said that hes natural though. He just ate chicken and rice for all his meals
>>77252146Yeah i mostly worked with mexicans. My name was "guerro"When i was pouring concrete for the whyoming state capitol building we needed more people and got an entire crew of halfway house people from cheyanne. Mostly meth addicts. One gun dealer. One super jacked guy we called big john. Only cool guy used to tell me all the supposedly badass dudes were catcalling in boys in jail. Then we got two rival gang members on the crew. This nortenos had the best coke i ever tried.
>>77252159>He said that hes natural though.Where?
>>77252171I saw him at the gym and he told me
>>77252177Okay ok fren, dang wonder what his stack is
>>77251907I lived a little, they lived way too much lmao.
>>77251133Nothing natural about that pic OP
>>77252206He said his stack is creatine, beta alanine, ashwaganda and citrulline malate
>>77252219Looks natural to me. Hes not even close to piana or the rock
>>77251807eh. I don't drink but my diet isn't great and I'm fine. If you lift heavy you can get pretty heavy bodyweights and still be functional. Just call yourself a powerlifter. 260 at 20% with over 200 lbs of LBM versus 260 at 40% with 150 lbs LBM
>>77252147I work as an electrician and most of my colleagues are overweight, and over half of the electricians in my firm can't raise their arms above their shoulders.
>>77252327>and over half of the electricians in my firm can't raise their arms above their shoulders.Chat could this be true
>>77252061I'm a fitter and it's the same shit. Shoulders are the first to go. Knees for service guys. Construction side everything is overhead
>>77252223It's the mass and the body fat percentage. The dude is freakishly low body fat and still quite jacked. That's just not a thing that you see on a person who is natural very often.>but he says he's naturalThey all do. At least until they're exposed somehow.
>>77252385>Everyone who is bigger/leaner than me are on roids
>>77252334We have have a health checkup every two years and the clinic sends a summary.
>>77252392You are stupid
>>77251516>and they'll say you have no life if you skip that to go to the gym insteadSo theyre just emotionally stunted manchildren. That tracks.
>>77252094White collar here. I have a treadmill under a standing desk and I hit the gym on company time.
>>77251489the strength of 10 gymcels...
Larp thread?
Blue collar worker here. A lot of the negatives people post here are true. I was on the path to those issues too for a bit but broke that chain before it got out of hand.Fast food for lunch every day. Overuse injuries. (Mostly shoulder, wrist, and back) Heavy drinking after work. Obese as fuck people (especially those who are on forklifts/equipment all day). Bad cardiological health and diabetes from the poor diet.The upsides is that despite this a lot of the guys are significantly stronger than they might present. Grip strength is incredible for most. (I started out with a weak as fuck grip but due to the job requirements my grip is insane now due what I do most frequently on the job.)Being blue collar and actually taking care of yourself is a fucking cheat code for getting bigger and stronger. The problem is most guys ignore that second important factor and croak shortly after they retire.
>>77252488I bet women dont like you
>>77252493Don't care. Married.
>>77252494Ok incel
>>77252488What do you do
>>77252620Bricklayer / Stonemason
>>77252505Reddit cringe
>>77252114Uh, yeah. Welcome newfag
I'm a steel shop laborer. Most blue collar guys are just fat and slightly stronger than the average guy lmao. It's work that will make your body tougher but I wouldn't count on it giving you any gains because your job typically isn't lifting stuff in reps. And if you are doing something very physical it's shit that will just rape your back instead of giving you a pump typically. Worked with a few meth addicts that were fit but I don't know how much the job factored into that, think it was mostly the drugs
>>77252629Don't let the silicosis get ya dude. Wear a mask. I'm watching my father in law go through it rn
I'm in landscaping and being shredded is easy for me but it's difficult to get enough food in to also maintain size. I don't always get a lunch break and once I get home I'm already used to go without food for so long that my feeling of hunger is almost gone.
99% of blue collar workers are fat slobs who drink and smoke. The 1% who work out and have a good physique get mogged by a skinnyfat dentist who ears their months wage in a week.
>>77253033I know quite a few guys who make more than a dentist in a year
>>77252645Schizophrenia is one hell of a drug
>>77252401If they cant lift their hands above their heads they cant do their job. But these people do have jobs?
>>77251448>antique fishing equipmentThose aren't people
>>77252169Kek im from Texas and this is pretty reflective of my own experience.
>>77253013Thanks for the concern brah. I've always been on point about my PPE. Regardless of what the idiot old guard think. Respirator, hearing protection, and eye protection when even necessary. Not fucking around. Also, fuckers refuse to use sunscreen and look like old leather bags.
>>77253272>texasMy least favorite state. Cept maybe kansas.
>>77253052Kek, I guarantee a lot of these blue collar guys are lying about their wages. A guy I know claims to earn 150k a year yet he lives in an absolute shithole, relies on a push bike for personal transport because his own cars been fucked for like 3 years and he's not allowed to use his work van for personal use, has worn the same beat to fuck air force 1s since 2020 and every single weekend without fail I'll get a message from him asking to borrow 20 bucks. Unless you see proof just assume they're full of shit
>>77254203A lot of em do. A lot of them are telling the truth though. Refinery work is like an endless stream of overtime and money. You can make 6 figures in half a year if you really want. And now with these data centers my buddy's travelling south to work 7 12s. Rental car and house is paid for. Per diem is 150/day. 60$ /hour, time and a half after 8, double after 10, and double on Saturday and Sunday.I like my straight 40s and come in close to 6 figures doing it
>>77251133Blue collar guys get bizarrely strong. But they don't tend to consider their diets much. Now if you give them meth, they will get absolutely shredded and jacked for about a year. But then they'll fall apart
>>77252221>He said his stack is creatine,No wonder he's hiding his hairline. Poor guy.
>>77251161have you ever jorked it on the job site?
>>77251133Maybe but most blue collar people I've worked with have been fat, kinda ugly and often have had unhealthy addictions to different substances to cope with their lives.
>>77251516>On average id actually say my friends with office jobs are in better shapebunch of fatties in the office, esp. the women
>>77251481Namaste, sar.
>>77253021Just have a big protein shake with one of those high calorie mass builder brands.
